We enjoyed almost 2 weeks on an island without asphalted streets and cars. The excellent camp we used, had solar panels and gave us all the comfort we needed. We used horse-drawn carriages to reach our favourite locations and quite a lot of birds could be found in and around the campement on little stolls by foot. We used the pirogue of our friend Diop almost daily to shoot waterbirds from the boat.
It was unusually hot. Normally we had afternoon temperatures below 30 C°, this time they approached 40 C°. We were lucky to be at the water's edge and so we could find refreshment in the river (which is part of the sea, subjected to the tides!) It is safe to swim in!
